“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.“ ~ Leo Tolstoy

It’s more than inconvenient… it’s a reprehensible truth.

Estimates say that there are over 20 million invaders – illegal immigrants in America.

These invaders are the hordes of people that entered our country without proper documentation by circumventing the legal immigration process. The number cited above is an estimate since there was no possible way to catalogue or inventory the huge number of people the Obama-Biden-Harris (OBH) regime allowed – invited to crash our boarders.

Estimates show that there are over 48 million immigrants – documented and undocumented – total, in the US, which lends to our moniker of ‘Melting Pot’ since Merka’s indigenous population is a miniscule 5.7 million or 1.72% of our total population, it means that the rest of us originate from somewhere else…

This is a touchy topic, and I’m not going there, however there is no way to unscramble those eggs. Moving forward with a nod to century-old decisions is appropriate. There are/were some governmental shenanigans that we must acknowledge. Funny that after hundreds of years and dozens of broken treaties and agreements with these indigenous people, leadership still cling to their Machiavellian Mantra – “The Ends Justify the Means.” Those who misrepresent us lie as glibly now as they did then – all the while maintaining a straight-face, and possibly a telling wry smirk, a wink, and nod.

I know that ‘Bend Over Here It Comes Again’ (BOHICA) is a modern acronym dating to the 1970s, inferring that something undesirable is about to occur, and the only option is to endure it.

I find it appropriate to the initial colonialization of this continent in the early 1600s. Our history, if you believe the interpretations, is replete with examples of taking full advantage of every situation possible, at the expense of the indigenous population. One would hope that after the first few failed treaties, the native people would be more cautious, but for some reason, they continue to sign on the dotted line.

It would be an interesting exercise to determine the number of treaties entered into, and the actual number fulfilled. I can imagine that the native American people are holding the stinky end of that stick. It proves that nothing changes, and we ignore our own history at our peril. If 400 years doesn’t define a trend, I must have missed that day in statistics class.

There are no definitive reasons for this gauche immigration invitation, although some speculate it has to do with increasing the Nationalist American Socialist Party (NASP) voter rolls, and others believe it’s to create an army for the impending revolution.

None of the involved parties will divulge their reasons for opening the borders, leaving us to speculate. Would you honestly trust their reasons if they told you?

That’s the extended cost of centuries of governmental deception.

Regardless, the impact is felt in every city, in every state, throughout our republic. The local communities that support these invaders spend billions of local tax dollars on education, hospitalization, and other necessaries to accommodate the invaders. Consequently, these accommodations deplete local funds, thus directly impacting their ability to service the local community.

No one in the OBH regime reimburses local governments for these expenditures, even though the regime instigated this deluge. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated that it cost at least $150.7 billion in 2023 to support these immigrants. They subtracted the $32 billion in immigrant tax revenue from the overall cost of $182 billion annual cost. This tax contribution is only 17.6% of the outlay. It’ll take a long time to liquidate the original debt.

It would appear that our governments’ total lack of fiscal acumen is in full view once again by adding to the burgeoning national debt with another financial boondoggle on immigration. It works out to $8,000 per taxpayer to cover the annual support costs of this invasion. No… you cannot deduct an invader from your personal taxes, but it work better for me than student loan forgiveness or $25,000 first time home buyer bullshit. The Invader Tax Credit (ITC) benefits everyone, not just a selected segment of society.

I’ll donate this idea to Kackling Kamala’s new basement campaign policy… Invader Tax Credits (ITC). Every taxpayer can deduct $8,000 from their taxable income to support this invasion.

“No government can give away something that it doesn’t first take from someone else, so subsidizing this assault is far from free, but what the hell…” We have tons of money to burn on frivolous pursuits like this and other harebrained campaign promises.

You can tell the fiscal acumen of a candidate by the promises they make.

That, dear friends, is a stereotype.

There is only one current candidate for president with any business experience. The others are all – ALL – professional politicians.

I recently read an article that suggested the best possible way to pay off the national debt – all $35 Trillion, is to allow these invaders to open businesses and use that tax revenue to pay it off. But as hard as I try, I can’t seem to make this work out financially… even using the government’s creative math skills.

Who thinks up this foolishness? It must be the department of redundancy department under the secretary of ludicrous spending and the Department of Homeless Security (DHS). Secretary Smarmy Mayorkas. His permanent smirk displays his arrogance in knowing he is untouchable… What a luxury.

Here are the estimated costs, based on available – estimated intrusion figures:

* Education $1.6 billion

* Medical $17.1 billion

* Federal Justice $13.1 billion

* Welfare $ 5.8 billion

Total: $45.8 billion

Impacts:

* Tax receipts $22.1 billion – taxes paid by the invaders

* Impact $30.4 billion – the difference money given and received.

The numbers in the paragraph above are the annual costs borne by ‘taxpayers’ – basically our money used by the government to support this invasion.

* I don’t recall authorizing, or being asked if I supported these expenditures. It was presupposed by our misleadership that we would support these expenditures. Just for the record – I do not!

That’s the quantifiable costs of the invasion. This article is about the unquantifiable or hidden costs…

I underline that my confidence in these numbers is very low since they are all hypothetically based on the estimated number of people illegally crossing the US borders. No one knows the real number of individuals or even where they are, so how can you make any reasonable guess. There’s just no way of knowing, and that is a real problem for me as it should be for any rational citizen.

A recent article speculated that our gubmint has misplaced 250,000 unaccompanied minors… Think about that.

That number in 2023 was 85,000 is reprehensible, but losing a quarter of a million children is unconscionable. Where did they go? The Biden Reich assumed responsibility for them when ICE transferred them to their new guardians. There are papers that track this – that should substantiate and validate this legal transfer of custody. Why can’t they locate all of the missing minors.

How do you work without defined parameters?

Imagine filing your 2024 income tax with an estimated salary figure of around $100,000 plus or minus $50,000 including our $16,000 ITC – I am married so I can claim two deductions…

So… I estimate that I owe about $150.00.

Let’s jump into the ‘Way-Back’ machine and visit September 11th, 2001. Arab terrorists attacked our country setting the stage for the most heinous, stereotypical reprisal in recent memory.

Every moron with a vendetta for this attack immediately associated Arab with the terrorists that murdered 2,996 people on that infamous day, because that is what the Corporate Media Complex (CMC) told us as the paid communicators for the Merkan Gubmint.

The association was infuriating and unavoidable. Suddenly, every Arab was a terrorist and therefore guilty by association. This correlation was compounded by the CMC, who drew the binding connection between that geographic region, the Arab Nations, and these infamous attackers who came from those countries.

Worse yet, the sitting president, Little Bush – The Shrub – blamed Iraq – I call that region Iraqistan because there is little ideological differentiation or separation. The region harbored Al Qaeda and supported their efforts.

The allegiance have shifted slightly, Hamas is the new Al Qaeda, but I digress…

There were 19 men affiliated with the jihadist organization al-Qaeda: 15 from Saudi Arabia, 2 from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and 1 Egyptian – all lumped into the Arab descriptor for convenience.

There was a spate of attacks on Arabs, nationally – some people wanted their pound of flesh for this attack. Vigilante Justice set another tone for Merkans, and anyone that even looked like an Arab was guilty by association… Remember this phrase – guilty by association.

Everyone coming over the US Southern border is classified as a Mexican invader, regardless of their point of origin. To clarify, these US invaders are from nearly every country on the globe, and most enter the US through the southern border – hence… the Mey-He-Can Invasion. It’s a gross generalization, just like the terrorist attack on 9/11 when we blamed the people of Iraqistan for this terrorism, rather than our ally Saudi Arabia who contributed a preponderance of the actors.

Our leadership decided not to bite the oily hand that lubricates our energy economy, and launched several wars to remove the “Weapons of Mass Destruction” discovered by The Shrub, who assured us that the 9/11 attacks were only the first of many terrorist acts to follow. Several years and billions of dollars later, there were only a few weapons of mass-distraction, but no weapons of mass-destruction. It was all a ploy to engage in wars to ensure funds transfers through the Military Industrial Congressional Complex.

My wife is an American of Mexican heritage, born in the Peoples Republic of California (PRC). Her parents and grand-parents were all US citizens, going back a couple of generations. This point is relevant to this article in ways that I’ll explain as we go forward.

She is as American as I, or as many of you, and unfortunately impacted by this invasion in ways I could never imagine.

She works at Phoenix, Sky Harbor Airport for an Airline as a Hub Controller. She controls the movement and servicing of aircraft after they land and are released by the FAA – Air Traffic Control. She carries the equivalent of a secret clearance because of her proximity and access to aircraft. Her access is recertified annually, and she is issued access credentials commensurate with her position. She and her team regularly speak with the pilots and aircrews, handling all of the logistics, maintenance, crew services and crew functions for over 2.3 million passengers and hundreds of thousands of flight for her employer annually. As Hub Controller – her position – her team handles an average of 300 flights per day at PHX for her airline.

Note: There are many other airlines that use Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport including UPS, USPS, FedEx and the Arizona National Guard. PHX is a very busy airport.

She is one of a few bilingual agents in the control tower who can handle the multitude of international flights originating in the southern hemisphere – Spanish speaking pilots and crews – that visit our international airport. The FAA intends that all foreign originating flights have a crew that is functionally literate in English… The FAA is a government agency, so you can only guess at the level of compliance that really exists, which is precisely why most tower control crews have a bilingual person available…

She has been stopped nearly every week and required to provide additional citizenship documentation to the TSA – because she is Hispanic.

Her FAA and FBI certified access document have her picture on each of the three access badges… yet they still require her driver’s license or other accreditation – because she is a ‘Mexican…’

She takes it with her usual courteous smile… just as she’s done for over 35 years – for the same airline at our airport. I can only imagine the indignation and humiliation she experiences.

She is an American Citizen!

This is how our government honors her.

The TSA – Transportation Security Agency was initially named the Federal Air Transport Airport Security Service – but the acronym FATASS was judged to be unfavorably descriptive and derogatory of the agents, so the name TSA was adopted instead.

Here we are twenty plus years later perpetrating a similar attack as on 9/11, on Mexican-Americans because 20 million people have illegally entered our country across that southern border. Now every Mexican in America is presumed to be an invader because of heritage, even though they were born here and are productive, contributing, tax-paying American Citizens.

But wait… there’s more and it gets worse.

The recent political campaign conventions – the political insult to general intelligence, broadcast their rhetoric in such gross generalizations that lies were indistinguishable from facts. No one bothered to fact-check the statements. The entire eight-day Bacchanal of Bullshit was assumed credible by everyone with the IQ of a warm spring day. Now every word was gospel and assumed accurate, precise, and valid. It was on TV… and these speakers are or soon will be our leaders… why would they lie?

Here’s the clue…

Because it is what they do for a living.

They are politicians and that’s what politicians do to encourage you to vote for them…

They tell you what they think you want to hear to garner your vote.

THEY LIE!

An old axiom says that you can tell that a politicians is lying because their lips are moving.

So, in keeping with the theme of this article, I can use the standard principle of generalization, and categorically proclaim that all politicians are liars because they generally lie, and they talk a lot – a whole lot…

Remember… all Arabs are terrorists, and all Mexicans are illegals.

Even though this is all horribly circumstantial, and the inferences drawn are based on lies, these fabricated pseudo-certainties live indelibly in our minds because we are programmed to accept everything from our government as true, especially when it’s sponsored by the Corporate Media Complex.

Therein is the danger in generalization and the power of the indistinguishability of fact from fiction in the land of America.

We’ve done immeasurable damage to our society by endorsing those that lie, thereby giving them license to continue.

~ The Author ~
Charles R. Dickens was born in 1951, is a veteran of the Vietnam war, for which he volunteered, and the great-great grandson of the noted author, whose name he shares.

He is a fiercely proud American, who still believes this is the greatest country on the planet, with which we’ve lost control and certainly our direction. He grew up in moderate financial surrounding; we’re not rich by any stretch, but didn’t go hungry – his incredibly hard working father saw to that. As most from that era, he learned about life from his father, whose story would take too long to tell, other than to say that, he is also a fiercely proud American; a WWII and Korean war, veteran Marine.

Charlie was educated in the parochial system which, demanded that you actually learn something, and have capability to retain it before you advance. He attended several universities in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree, and chased the goose further to a master’s, and has retained some very definite ideas about education in this country.

In addition, Charlie is a retired blues guitar and vocalist – a musician. This was his therapy career. Nothing brings him as much joy as playing music, and he wishes that he could make a living at it… but alas… life goes on!
